Plan Tuscobia Winter Ultra

Use the listed edition as your starting point. Each tool keeps imported race facts separate from the targets and assumptions you choose.

Listed edition: Jan 1, 2027 – Jan 3, 2027
Format: Fixed-Distance
Distance: 160 mi out and back; separate 80 mi
Local start time: 6:00 AM Friday, January 1, 2027, at the KC Hall in Rice Lake (160-mile run and ski). The 160-mile bike starts at 6:00 AM Saturday, and the 80-mile race at 10:00 AM Saturday from Butternut Lake Lodge.
Duration / cutoff: 65 hours for the 160-mile run and ski: the event closes at 11:00 PM Sunday, January 3. The Butternut Lake Lodge turnaround closes at 11:00 PM Saturday, January 2, and the Winter Huskies checkpoint closes at 9:00 AM Sunday, January 3. The 160-mile bike has 41 hours and the 80-mile race 37 hours.
Crew and pacers: No crews or pacers. Family and friends may not help, may not appear to be helping, and may not enter checkpoints. Racers may help each other and receive aid from checkpoint volunteers. Rides on snowmobiles or in vehicles are not allowed.
Drop bags: 160 mile only: one bag at Winter Huskies, reachable in both directions. New for 2027, bags may hold only consumables (food, batteries, hand warmers), no gear or clothing, in a clear plastic bag of up to 10 lb that will be inspected. Bags are dropped at the KC Hall before the start and stored outside, so pack no liquids. They come back to the KC Hall on Sunday and are not shipped.
